Two men - a 42-year-old and a 31-year-old - were arrested on suspicion of wounding last week after Merseyside Police launched an investigation into the incident.

Police cordon off Kinglake Road following reports of a serious assault, which has left a 27-year-old man fighting for his life after the attack at a flat on Kings Street in Wallasey.

Detective Inspector Paul Parry said: “We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have heard or saw anything suspicious around this flat in the hours leading up to the discovery of the victim at around 10am.

“This man is in a critical condition and I’d ask anyone who was in the area at the time, to think back and contact us urgently if anything comes to mind. Any information no matter how small could assist with our investigation.”

Some residents reported that forensic officers were still on the scene five days after the attack.

Anyone with any information which could help detectives with their investigation is asked to contact Wirral CID on 0151 777 2265 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
